Abstract

This volume is needful and valuable due to the rare appearance in the literature of these two aspects — feminism and transitional justice — together, which have now acquired a central position in the Series on Transitional Justice. Martha Albertson Fineman and Estelle Zinsstag offer in this book a feminist perspective of transitional justice incorporating different views. They try to demonstrate that the diverse gender sensitive conceptions of justice can contribute to an improvement in the position of women in peace-building and transition processes.
